"I suspect that 49,900,000 people this side of the pond don't actually give a damn MtheGM."

While I suspect it's meaningless to speak of UK V's US 'interpretations' of the symbol. My guess is that the only people who might "give a damn" about the CND disarmament logo, are people who actually "gave a damn" about the Anti-Nuclear Weapons campaign (for which it was designed) in the first place. And many did give a damn, and spent a great deal of time fighting against that.

Of course not all of the UK gave a damn about nuclear weapons being here, even in the Eighties. And not all of England give a damn about Nukes being here now. In fact many actively *applauded* the UK stationing nuclear bombs here: all in the name of "PEACE" (ha ha) of course - which indeed is a very problematic issue as far as the overall discussion is concerned!
